If you're using a pastry shell, yes, you should pre bake. Brown tops under the broiler if needed for color.
When I was cooking for the Legion, pot pies were a popular mid month dinner. I served beef, chicken and turkey. For ease of serving, I made and baked the fillings separate of the tops. The pastry was baked in 4x4 inch pieces.
My idea of a deconstructed pot pie. One of the easiest meals I'd make there.
